Mali Small Ruminants Value Chains
1.Overview of small ruminants value chains in Mali
2.Targeted sheep and goats systems
3.Impact pathway
4.Progress in engaging with partners
5.Workplan
6.Analysis of gaps and resource mobilization priorities
Overview of the Mali Small Ruminants Value Chains
27 millions shoats; 4.6 poor Millions livestock keepersDiversity of Sheep and Goat Production systems
Production systems
Pure pastoral systems in marginal arid areas
Extensive millet based crop-livestock systems in semi-arid areas
Irrigated rice crop-livestock systems
Intensified sheep production systems in urban and peri-urban areas (Sheep fattening)
Sedentary cotton/sorghum Djallonke sheep and goat production systems
Large sheep and goat genetic diversity
Mobility, seasonal feed shortages, High risk (drought, diseases)
Overview of the Mali Small Ruminants Value Chains
Inputs and Services
Main inputs: family labour and natural pastures and crop residues
Limited use of purchased inputs
Poor animal health delivery services resulting in high death and reproduction losses, specially in young stocks
Overview of the Mali Small Ruminants Value Chains
Marketing & transport, Expanding domestic and export markets 1 Million sheep and goat slaughtered; 0.5 Million exported (0.4 M to Senegal), 2009
Increases in supplies and prices over years
Trade and transport policy barriers: Duties and taxes; Non-tariff barriers (Export authorization, illegal transit procedures, illegal roadblocks and checkpoints)

Mali Small Ruminants Value ChainsStrategies for the development of sheep and goat value chains
1.Sourcing of males from extensive sheep production systems neighboring Office du Niger
2.Support group of farmers (women) to engage in sheep fattening using local upgraded feed resources
3.Establish business hubs to facilitate linkages with services providers and financial services, and for the development of
contractual arrangements with buyers

Mali Small Ruminants Value ChainsExisting engagement and key potential partners
Stakeholders consultation workshop, July 2010
Why Mali?
Choice of VCs (species) and systems
Participatory analysis of constraints, opportunities and priority interventions for each value chain component
Identification of potential partners
Mali Small Ruminants Value Chains
Potential partnersResearch organization NARS (IER), CIRAD
NGOs SNV, AVSF
GoM Ministry of livestock and fishery, DNPIA
On-going and future development projects
PADESO, USAID-funded projects (MLPI, ATP) , IFAD projects
Private businesses Mali feed processors
Other Value chain actors Mali livestock traders association, Ordre des Veterinaires du Mali
Workplan2012 2013
Priority Outcomes
Local and national partners have established R4D alliance to transform the SRC in Mali
Small ruminants VC have been assessed and stakeholders have gained awareness of the potential, constraints and opportunities and preliminary upgrading options of SR VC.
Priority Research Outputs
Animal health interventions priorities are determined and disseminated.
Animal health delivery systems are assessed and are better understood.
Feeding systems in project site are characterized and upgrading options are analyzed
Assess small ruminant management and breeding practices, farmers preferences of traits and market demands for various breeds
SR VC are characterized and stakeholders and potential partners are identified
Baseline situation and M&E framework established
Identification of combinations of technology, epidemiological knowledge and institutional change to solve specific animal health.
Upgraded feeding strategies based on improved varieties of feed crops/forges are made available.
Genetic improvement strategies are assessed in a participatory manner and small ruminants performance recording systems and database are established.
